The Mad Max Rig allows easy attachment of Camera and / or Remote head to front of any of our Camera Tracking Vehicles, not impairing the Camera Tracking drivers view, basically a Bumper Extension. it has been made with very smooth corners as the same way as a regular car bumper is, Pedestrian Friendly.
Ideally for POV(Front Facing Shots) filming in busy urban areas and has been used many times in Urban and Rural locations over the years. The reason this was made as a normal front filming platform has sharp corners and the overhang was more the 1m, The Mad Max Rig does not break any regulations for its use and has gained the approval for use in many cities. Police attendance is not required for its use.
We consider this a safe solution for filming from the front of a Tracking Vehicle.
It does not overhang the front of the Camera Tracking more 1m, so it does fall within the Overhanging Regulations as below.
